[KMST] [1.2.398] Minar's Past

[kimicatdemon]

I am willing to believe that Crawls with Balrog is indeed Dances with Balrog. We have no idea how aging happens in the maple world so it is fully possible for Balrog to be a couple of hundreds years old. I am pretty sure those 4th job guys are pretty old and who knows about the 3rd job guys.

So all the job instructors are just a couple hundred years old? .....I guess I can work with that~

Not all, just Grendel, Dances and Athena. Maybe 4th job guys since they're supposed to be wise sages or some such.

The Dark Lord is really young since the last Dark Lord died like 10-20 years ago.

This.
Actually, I don't even think he died that long ago. Lady Syl looks to be in her mid-to-late 20's or early 30's. Given that the two were very in love (iirc), that puts it more in the range of 5-10 years. Maybe a year or two before MS started, because he seems to be well in power, and the other instructors know him.

aw, well... Jin's a sucker anyway....Gettin owned by level 3 monsters and all.. Thanks for the clear up!

I am going by what Manji says. I believe he says something along the lines of that Tristen died over 10 years ago, and the Dark Lord followed soon after.

What is this referring to?

Why can't nexon make content in the present? Does anyone else not see the point at going back in time when the real problem is currently in the present?

Who says?
The most powerful army in the world hasn't been turned evil in the present (admittedly that is in the future).
The Black Mage isn't free and in power in the present.
I assume that the forces of evil that exist in the present still exist in the past and future (zak, HT, Pianus, Balrog, etc). We actually have it easy right now, PB and Von Leon are the only two large threats.

LF> Balrog Expansion. It's gone on long enough. WE NEED HIM BACK.

must not have been paying attention during that part. 0_o

...the only thing I can think of is Shrooms, but that makes about as much sense as a flying wolf.

[Combattente]

I still don't get it.. what happened to the Goddess of Time and what were Akyrum's specific plans?

We're going back in time because the baddies are going back in time... -_-

PS. I would like to take this moment to laugh at whoever said the Goddess of Time only existed on another plane of existence.

[Hanabira.Kage]

Yeah, and pigs will fl-

HOLY SH-

Well, according to the Dual Blader quest, they managed to steal somethin from him. It's never actually told what it was though...

...are you telling me that SHROOMS stole something from the most accomplished thief in Maple World?

[kimicatdemon]

yep. No idea how they did it, but that's how the very start of DB's magical journey goes. I lol'd forever about that.

[skullowls]

Ok,can someone explain to me how you know that if the Goddess of time wakes up bad stuff will happen?.

The keeper of the temple of time says something like the fabric of time will unravel or something in the quests.

[Sorien]

Well I can think of a way they could do it very easily, but it involves one of the Shrooms dying.

Step 1: Have a Shroom jump into Dark Lord's mouth as he's eating (so the face mask is removed).
Step 2: Wait for Dark Lord to be fully stoned by the Shroom's intoxicating spores.
Step 3: Rob the comatose Dark Lord for everything he's worth.

That's a good plan. Have this relevant animation I sketched out awhile back for your reward:

Not quite. The closest thing he says is, "This doesn't simply concern the Temple of Time but it can affect the entire Maple World and its people. Don't just brush it off that easily."

......

Makes almost no sense to me though. So the Goddess, floating frozen on her throne, with no mirror behind her, mind you, and Akyrum has had enough time to do some renovations as well.

I present this next statement to the masses with pure, wholehearted passion: wtp?


So...what the hell happened to our timeline's Goddess?

Just to remind everyone of the old maplestory storyline... perhaps we can add onto what we already know:
